and the multiplier rules still apply, VK bonus points have been cancelled
and the contest is split up into three parts of 8 hours each to be held on
the second full weekend of June. In 2010 these three parts will be on
Jun 12, 0800-1559 UTC, on Jun 13 from 0000-0759 UTC and from 1600-2359 UTC.
A new six hour category for single operators is added as well. Existing
contest modules of the former contest may still be used.
All rules and further information can be found at: http://www.drcg.de
